仁王般若經疏 2.98

2.98

From "Great King! The six consciousnesses of ordinary beings..." onwards is the fourth part, distinguishing between the coarse and subtle forms of ordinary beings and sages. The six consciousnesses of ordinary beings aggregate dharmas in their general characteristics; therefore it says they grasp conventional designations, such as the aforementioned blue and yellow. Sages analyze the four subtle elements and so forth; therefore it says they grasp the real. Alternatively, it means: the six consciousnesses of sages condition the realm of reality (dharmadhātu) and grasp real dharmas. From "'Sentient beings' is a name of conventional truth" onwards is the fifth part, clarifying that all dharmas of sentient beings belong to conventional truth. The text has three parts: first, generally indicating that all belong to conventional truth; second, from "the conventional designation of continuity" onwards, clarifying that the three conventional designations belong to conventional truth; third, from "Great King" onwards, clarifying that the Buddhas and worthy sages know in accordance with the object, that all are like illusory existence, concluding their belonging to conventional truth. Within the preceding general section there are two parts: first, clarifying that all dharmas are like sky-flowers and completely belong to conventional truth; second, from "before a Buddha appears in the world" onwards, clarifying the establishment of names of causes and conditions. In the first part there are two: first, clarifying that whether sentient beings are existent or non-existent, all are like illusions and transformations, which is called the cause.
